CBE Seminar Series: J. Will Medlin September 15 @ 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM 1610 Engineering Hall 1415 Engineering Drive, Madison One approach toward controlling selectivity in catalysis is to systematically design these encapsulating ligands to impart improved activity, selectivity, and stability in reactions such as CO2 hydrogenation, C-C coupling, and the hydrodeoxygenation of biomass-derived oxygenates. This presentation will describe design of different components of the organic ligands—the “head” group that covalently attaches to the support versus the “tail” organic function—to control selectivity in reactions at surfaces. The presentation will also explain advantages and limitations for use of organic modifiers in heterogeneous catalysis.

BME Seminar Series: Ying Zheng September 21 @ 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM 1003 (Tong Auditorium) Engineering Centers Building 1550 Engineering Drive, Madison, WI, United States Building Human Microvasculature for Regeneration and Disease Modeling Ying Zheng, PhDAssociate ProfessorDepartment of MedicineStanford University Abstract:Microvasculature helps define the tissue microenvironment. These vessels are highly heterogeneous in size and geometry, spanning three orders of magnitude in diameter, and their dysfunction is a systemic hallmark of many diseases. Yet studying them remains difficult because they are...
